Each ureter is a small tube, about 25 cm long, that carries urine from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder.
The renal cortex provides a space for arterioles and venules from the renal artery and vein, as well as the glomerular capillaries, to perfuse the nephrons of the kidney.
The renal medulla, which is the inner portion of the kidney, is composed of cone-shaped renal masses termed renal pyramids. The main function of the medulla is to regulate concentration of the urine.
